Concerns over the return of the Apollo on the Strait of Belle Isle

Junior Hancock was aboard the Sir Robert Bond on Wednesday morning when she sailed from Blanc Sablon. Soon after, she found herself right in the middle of ice. Hancock says it took several tries, but the captain finally worked his way around the ice and went on to Corner Brook.
